06/13/11 Danny Django Sat On The Couch

A native of Colorado, Django describes himself as "Woody Guthrie with digital capabilities" and has been compared to Tom Petty and Neil Young.

Danny and I discussed his life growing up in Colorado, how music became part of his life and his future plans to continue to share his music with the masses.

We also heard music from his album"Child Indigo."

06/13/11 Carlos del Junco Sat On The Couch

Carlos del Junco is the best harp player you probably do not know.

His list of awards and honors is impressive; winning Harmonica Player of the Year - at the Canadian Maple Blues Awards 7 times, was nominated for the Juno Award (Canada's Grammy) for two of his albums, and won two Gold medals at the 1993 Hohner World Harmonica Championship.

I sat with Carlos and we discussed how the harp has become a part of his life, his influences and his desires moving forward.

We also caught some great tunes from his album "Mongrel Mash."
